The Second Mystery is just as good as first!

This is the second mystery by Deanna Raybourn and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. The setting for the stores is excellent with good
character developement. I look forward to her future books...this is fun!

Can't wait for more

I am in love with this series. I liked the old twist of a snow bound house party. It seemed predictable, but was not. I was shocked by the idenity and motives of the murderer, yet it all made perfect sense.

I live the budding romance between Lady Julia and Brisbane. I just hope the writer can sustain the perfect balance between these.

All in all, this book was very well done. I anxiously await the next one.

Great escape!

I was disappointed at first: Larger print, smaller story. "Silent in the Grave" was such a detailed novel. In the end, I did enjoy this book and now hate to wait until 3/2009 to read more. I hope Deanna Raybourn takes this time to create another great story, letting the characters evolve some more... I certainly felt like living in another world while I was reading her first two books. Thanks!

Good sequel

This is the sequel to Silent int he Grave. I think it is slightly better written inasmuch as there is more character development in this book. I found this book harder to put down. I would not rate it as among the best books I've ever read, but it is a good read.

A refreshing turn for the Genre

Upon being drawn to the cover at a local library, I read the back of the book and had expected another sorry attempt at the genre so favorably called, "romantic suspense". While the genre itself boasts quite a few good novels, most of the time they have nothing else to offer than obvious plot lines, thinly stretched twists, much-too-familiar characters that all sum up to frustrating cliches.

Nonetheless, I had some time to kill and I invested some doubtful minutes reading and skimming through. As I went deeper into the story, pleasantly surprised, I became intrigued by the Christie-esque settings, characters, etc, which were all thoroughly charming, but most of all the witty dialogues and the characters' acerbic tongues that reminded me of Salinger. These lent the book a delicious seasoning on top of what could have been a story vulnerable to a few dull scenes (though I admit that readers have to learn to be patient when involved in this genre).

Solving criminal mysteries and delving into little clues that trail after the culprits and finally meting out justice is not my idea of a favorite book, but Silent in the Sanctuary is delightfully refreshing and unconventional, and I was kept chuckling until the very last sentence of the book. I'll look forward to the next installment of the series very much!
